to  this  call,  and  many  drawings  and  models,  as  well  as  estimations

Note:  The  State  of  Pennsylvania  only  furnished  the  transportation  for  the  above

W.  S.  Underwood  and  C.  F.  Gramlich,  to  furnish  the  transportation  from  Richmond,  Va., 
to  Cold  Harbor.  This  the  Captains  did  in  a  most  commendable  manner,  as  well  as  with 
a  most  motley  array  of  conveyances  which  presented  a  sight  never  to  be  forgotten.  Part 
of  the  survivors  were  transported  by  way  of  Fair  Oaks,  Va.,  and  some  by  Mechank-s- 
ville,  Va.,  but  regardless  of  the  transportation,  they  all  arrived  at  the  ceremonies,  ami

wealth  through  Captain  P.  D.  Bricker,  treasurer,  were  present  at  the 
dedication  of  the  Pennsylvania  Monument  on  the  Battlefield  of  Cold 
Harbor,  Wednesday,  October  the  20th,  1909,  and  participated  in  the  ex 
ercises  there  held,  which  order  of  exercises  were  as  follows: 

COLD  HARBOR,  VIRGINIA. 

Taken  from  the  Centuary  Dictionary  and  Cyclopedia,  Vol.  IX,  page 
265. 

"COLD  HARBOR — A  place  in  Hanover  County,  Virginia,  9  miles  east — uoitheasl  of 
Richmond,  situated  near  tlie  Chickahominy.  It  was  the  scene  of  two  battles  during  the 
Civil  War;  the  first  fought  June  27th,  1862,  is  better  known  as  the  battle  of  Game's 
Mill;  (which  see)  ;  the  second  was  fought  June  3rd,  1864,  and  the  Confederate*  (50,000- 
69,000),  under  Lee  defeated  the  Federals  (150,000),  uuder  Grant.  Losses — (June  1-12) 
of  Federals,  14,931;  of  Confederates,  1,700. 

Relying  upon  the  correctness  of  the  above  quotation,  it  will  prove 
that  the  above  battle  was  one  of  the  most  sanguinary  of  the  whole  Civil 
War. 


PARTIAL  HISTORY  OF  COLD  HARBOR  BATTLE. 

June  3rd,  1864. 

THROUGH  the  courtesy  of  John  McElroy,  editor  National  Tribune, 
ginia,  which  lasted  from  the  3rd  day  of  June,  to  the  15th  day  of 
the  following  bit  of  the  history  of  the  battle  of  Cold  Harbor,  Vir- 
the  same  mouth,  A.  D.  1864,  with  reference  to  the  number  of  soldiers 
lost  is  had,  for  which  the  Commission  is  very  grateful. 

"The  official  reports  show  that  at  Cold  Harbor  there  were  143  officers  killed,  and  1,- 
702  men.  There  were  443  officers  wounded,  aud  8,644  men.  There  were  35  officers  and 
1,781  captured  or  missing,  making  a  total  loss  of  12,738." 


/'/'\  Yxr/,1 MA7  L  AT  COLD  HARBOR.  35 

"Substantially  all  the  organizations  in  the  Army  of  the  Potomac  and  in  the  Eighteenth 
Corps  were  engaged,  and  substantially  all  of  the  Army  of  Northern  Virginia  took  part 
in  the  fight.  The  fight  lasted  from  June  2nd,  to  the  15th,  with  the  greater  part  of  the 
losses  occurring  In  about  one-half  hour  on  June  3rd,  when  the  charge  was  made." 

It  is  thought  by  some,  that  the  losses  were  reported  as  far  too  small, 
and  it  is  believed  by  these,  that  the  total  loss  probably  ran  as  high,  and 
possibly  higher  than  17,000.  The  fight  was  one  of  the  most  terrific  as 
well  as  sanguinary  of  the  whole  Rebellion,  so  much  so,  that  it  has  been 
estimated  that  in  the  fight  of  June  3rd,  when  the  fortifications  of  the 
rebels  were  stormed,  that  as  many  as  10,000  men  lost  their  lives  iu 
less  than  30  minutes.

As  we  are  assembled  in  Thy  presence,  and  humbly  worship  before  Thee, 
may  Thy  blessings  rest  upon  us.  We  acknowledge  Thee  to  be  our  Su-

preme  ruler.  Thou  didst  make  us,  and  not  we  ourselves.  In  Thee  we 
live  and  move  and  have  our  being.  From  Thee  cometh  every  good  and 
perfect  gift;  Thy  favor  is  life,  and  Thy  loving  kindness  is  better  than 
life. 

We  thank  Thee  for  life  in  such  an  age  of  progress;  we  thank  Thee 
for  such  a  country  as  that  which  we  possess;  and  we  thank  Thee  for 
the  grand  opportunities  it  affords.  We  thank  Thee  for  past  and  present 
prosperity,  and  especially  for  its  government  in  which  the  political  and 
religious  rights  of  the  people  are  recognized,  and  which  is  mighty  to  de 
fend  the  right  and  crush  the  wrong. 

We  thank  Thee,  Thou  God  of  battles,  that  from  the  beginning,  Thou 
hast  raised  up  men  that  were  willing  to  lay  down  their  lives  for  liberty 
and  just  government;  and  that  Thou  gave  our  armies  brave  command 
ers,  who  led  the  armies  from  victory  to  victory.  We  thank  Thee  thai 
Thou  hast  brought  us  through  many  a  weary  campaign,  and  out  of  tho 
deadly  strife.  We  thank  Thee  that  Thou  hast  permitted  us  to  accom 
plish  something  for  our  nation  and  humanity;  and  that  we  are  per 
mitted  to  see  this  hour  so  full  of  vivid  memoried  of  marches  by  day  and 
by  night,  of  ramp  and  hospital,  and  defeat  and  victory,  and  memories 
of  the  noble  dead,  who,  hearing  Thy  command,  have  advanced  to  the 
front  which  is  beyond  our  sight,  and  beyond  the  line  of  death. 

0  Thou  who  art  a  father  to  the  fatherless  and  better  than  a  husband 
to  the  widow,  bless  the  widows  and  the  orphans  of  our  fallen  comrades 
who  are  with  us  in  spirit,  but  cannot  appear  with  us  to-day.  May  they 
have  prosperity  and  happiness  in  this  world  and  in  the  world  to  come, 
share  in  the  glorious  triumph  of  the  soldiers  of  the  cross. 

We  beseech  Thee,  O  God,  to  bless  Thy  servant,  the  President  of  the 
United  States,  and  all  who  bear  authority  throughout  the  length  and 
breadth  of  our  land.  May  no  sectional  issue  weaken  the  bonds  of  fra 
ternity  which  makes  of  our  individual  Commonwealths  a  glorious 
Nation. 

And  now,  O  God,  bless  this  moment,  bless  it  in  honor  of  mothers  who 
gave  their  sons;  bless  it  in  honor  of  wives  who  wept  for  husbands  who 
never  returned;  bless  it  in  honor  of  children  whose  heritage  is  their 
fallen  father's  heroic  name.  But,  chiefly,  O  God,  bless  it  in  honor  of 
men,  who  counted  not  their  lives  dear,  when  their  country  needed  their 
service.  Protest  it,  and  let  it  endure  unto  the  latest  generation.  May 
its  influence  be  for  the  education  of  the  citizen,  for  the  honor  of  civil 
life,  for  the  advancement  of  the  nation,  for  the  blessings  of  humanity, 
and  for  the  furtherance  of  Thy  kingdom. 

Keep  us  all  loyal  to  our  country,  to  the  right,  and  above  all,  to  Thee; 
and  after  the  warefare  of  life  is  ended  and  we  are  called  to  sleep  by  the 
tatoo  of  death,  may  we  all  in  the  morning  of  the  resurrection  be  awak 
ened  by  the  reveille  of  angels. 

We  ask  it  in  the  name  of  Jesus  Christ,  the  great  Captain  of  our  salva 
tion.  Amen.

REMARKS    BY    CAPTAIN    C.    F.    GRAMLICH,    OF    PHILADELPHIA, 

PENNA. 

MR.  CHAIRMAN,  Comrades,  Ladies  and  Friends:  In  pursuance 
with  a  general  act  of  Assembly  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Penn 
sylvania,  a  Commission  was  appointed  by  his  Excellency,  Gov 
ernor  Edwin  S.  Stuart,  consisting  of  B.  F.  Hodge,  Josiah  Hissong,  P.  D. 
Bricker,  William  S.  Underwood  and  C.  F.  Gramlich,  for  the  purpose  of 
erecting  a  monument  to  commemorate  the  services  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Regiments,  that  participated  at  the  battle  of  Cold  Harbor,  and  have  no 
monument  on  any  other  battlefield;  the  Commission  having  completed 
their  labors,  we  are  met  on  this  hallowed  ground,  to  dedicate  this 
monument  in  honor  of  the  veterans  living  and  dead  who  participated 
here — therefore,  as  the  representative  of  the  Commission,  I  take  great 
pleasure  to  introduce  Mrs.  Juliet  Watson,  daughter  of  Colonel  Richard 
White,  late  Colonel  of  the  55th  Regiment  of  the  Pennsylvania  Vol 
unteers,  who  will  unveil  this  monument.

through  illness.  Also,  Capt.  W.  S.  Underwood,  was  appointed  Master  of  Transportation

about  12  miles. 


UNVEILING  OF  MONUMENT 

By  Mrs.  Juliet  Watson,  Daughter  of  Colonel  Richard  White,  Late  Col 
onel  of  the  55th  Regiment  Pennsylvania  Volunteers. 


THE  remarks  made  by  Mrs.  Watson,  while  meager,  yet  were  very 
impressive,  and  uttered  with  much  felling,  so  much  so,  that  they 
impressed  all  within  hearing,  that  while  they  were  extemporane 
ous,  that  they  were  remarks  of  true  feeling,  and  patriotic  sentiment, 
and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  speaker  did  not  speak  longer;  however, 
let  what  was  said  suffice: 

"Greater  love  hath  no  man  than  this— THAT  HE  LAY  DOWN  HIS  LIFE  FOR  AX- 
OTHER — lest  we  forget  the  many  sacrifices  here  made,  we  now  give  this  memorial  to 
the  world." 


40  PENNSYLVANIA    .\T  L'O/J)  HAKBOR. 

ADDRESS   AND    PRESENTATION   OF   THE   MONUMENT  AT   COLD 
HARBOR,  VA.,  BY  P.  D.  BRICKER,  ESQ. 

HONORABLE  Edwin  S.  Stuart,  Governor  of  Pennsylvania: 
In  pursuance  of  An  Act  of  Assembly  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Pennsylvania,  approved  of  by  you  June  13th,  1907,  you  were  au 
thorized  to  appoint  five  persons,  whose  duty  it  was  to  select  and  decide 
upon  a  location  for  one  monument  to  commemorate  the  services  (of  the 
55th  Regiment  of  Pennsylvania  Volunteers)  and  of  all  Pennsylvania 
Regiments  engaged  in  the  battle  of  Cold  Harbor,  Virginia,  which  oc 
curred  in  the  month  of  June,  1864,  the  services  of  which  have  not  been 
commemorated  by  a  monument  on  any  other  battlefield;  which  persons 
so  appointed  by  you  were  to  be  known  as  the  "Cold  Harbor  Battlefield 
Commission." 

The  Commission  upon  whom  you  bestowed  this  honor,  and  in  whom 
you  reposed  this  confidence  were  Captain  P.  F.  Hodge,  Co.  "A"  55th, 
and  Captain  Josiah  Hissong  of  Co.  "H"  55th  Regiment  of  Pennsylvania 
Volunteers;  Captain  W.  S.  Underwood,  Co.  "K"  97th  Regiment  Pennsyl 
vania  Volunteers;  Captain  C.  F.  Gramlich,  Co.  "B"  2nd  Pennsylvania 
Heavy  Artillery,  112th  Regiment  Pennsylvania  Volunteers  and  Captain 
P.  D.  Bricker,  Co.  "F"  13th  Regiment  Pennsylvania  Cavalry. 

The  Commission  met  and  organized  promptly  thereafter,  and  dis 
charged  its  duties  faithfully  and  to  the  best  of  their  knowledge,  judg 
ment  and  ability. 

It  was  considered  impracticable,  if  not  impossible,  to  select  a  promi 
nent  site  for  the  location  of  a  monument  upon  any  particular  place, 
upon  the  line  of  battle,  extending  in  length  for  several  miles,  and 
punctured,  as  it  were,  by  rapid  marches;  fierce  fighting;  desperate 
charges  and  countercharges  and  skillful  maneuvers,  as  could  only  be 
displayed,  by  veteran  troops,  in  the  field  of  battle,  of  equal  valor,  cour 
age  and  bravery. 

To  avoid  placing  the  same  where  the  catural  conditions  of  things 
would  make  the  site  one  almost  of  exclusiveness,  with  great  incon 
venience  attending  future  visitations;  your  Commission  succeeded  in 
obtaining  the  consent  and  authority  of  the  War  Department  to  place 
and  erect  the  same  within  the  enclosures  of  the  National  Cemetery,  con 
trolled  by  the  authorities  of  the  United  States  Government. 

Having  thus  secured  the  site,  your  Commission  entered  into  a  con 
tract  for  the  erection  of  same,  the  Government,  however,  reserving  the 
right  to  pass  upon  its  location,  and  to  examine  the  inscriptions  and  de 
signs  proposed  to  be  placed  thereon. 

It  was  advised  by  the  Quartermaster  General,  that  the  whole  number 
of  the  various  regiments  from  Pennsylvania,  which  were  present  at  this 
battle  should  be  placed  thereon  this  suggestion  was  favorably  acted 
upon,  and  the  names  of  the  seventy-nine  Pennsylvania  Regiments  and 
Batteries,  thus  participating,  were  inscribed  thereon.

After  careful  consideration  and  from  the  best  information  officially 
obtained,  and  from  the  records  of  monuments  erected  upon  other  bat 
tlefields  and  in  other  cemeteries,  only  sixteen  were  found  to  have  no 
monuments  upon  other  battlefields;  namely— Batteries  B  and  P  Pa. 
Light  Artillery,  which  since  that  time  have  a  monument  at  Gettysburg, 
thus  leaving  to-day  but.  fourteen,  as  follows:  The  "2d  Pa.  Heavy 
Aritlrley,  112th  Regiment;  the  2d  Pa.  Provisional  Heavy  Artillery,  112th 
Pa.;  13th  Regiment  Pa.  Cavalry,  and  the  55th,  58th,  76th,  97th,  157th, 
183d,  184th,  187th,  188th,  190th  and  191st  Regiments  of  Infantry. 

The  Commission  erected  the  monument,  within  the  amount  appro 
priated  for  same  and  the  expenses  incident  thereto,  turning  into  the 
State  Treasury  the  unexpended  balance  of  $1,371.85. 

Personal  care  and  supervision  of  the  erection  of  the  monument  was 
given,  and  we  desire  to  say  that  J.  Henry  Brown,  of  Richmond,  Va., 
architect  and  contractor,  did  the  work  well,  and  furnished  the  best 
materials  obtainable. 

We  trust  that  you  will  inspect  and  examine  the  work  of  your  Com 
mission,  and  that  it  will  meet  with  your  approval. 

The  Commission,  therefore,  with  a  high  degree  of  pride  and  satisfac 
tion,  present  to  you,  the  Governor  of  Pennsylvania,  who  on  behalf  of  the 
people  of  the  grand  old  Commonwealth,  will  accept  and  receive  the 
same,  entrusting  it  into  the  care,  control  and  custody  of  the  proper  au 
thorities  of  the  United  States  Government.

OWING  to  the  lamentable  fact,  that  the  stenographer  which  was 
employed  by  Captain  W.  S.  Underwood  on  behalf  of  the  Commis 
sion,  and  supposed  to  be  present  at  the  dedicatory  exercises, 
failed  to  be  present,  as  well  as  the  fact,  that  his  Honor,  the  Governor, 
spoke  extemporaneously,  the  Commission  is  unable  to  here  print  his 
speech.  However,  let  it  suffice,  to  say,  that  the  speech  of  the  Governor 
of  Pennsylvania,  in  which  he  accepted  the  monument  erected  and  so 
dedicated,  in  behalf  of  Pennsylvania,  and  gave  same  into  the  care  and 
keeping  of  the  United  States,  was  a  masterful  and  deep  meaning  speech, 
full  of  feeling  and  one  that  will  be  long  remembered  by  all  those  who 
were  within  his  hearing. 

By  the  Commission.

RESPONSE—GEN.    GEORGE    B.    DAVIS,    JUDGE    ADVOCATE    GEN 
ERAL,  U.  S.  A. 

MR.  CHAIRMAN,  Survivors  of  the  Regiments  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Volunteers,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 
It  is  proper  that  the  great  State  of  Pennsylvania,  the  Keystone 
of  our  constitutional  edifice,  should  be  efficiently  represented  upon  this 
occasion  by  a  generous  delegation  of  her  citizens;  some  of  whom  took 
part  in  the  operations  in  this  vicinity  in  the  early  part  of  June,  1864, 
and  participated  actively  in  the  important  battles  at  Cold  Harbor, 
Bethesda  Church  on  the  1st  and  3rd  days  of  June  of  that  year.  The 
participation  of  the  Pennsylvania  troops  in  those  battles  was  numerous 
and  important  and  included  65  regiments  of  infantry,  11  regiments  of 
cavalry,  2  light  batteries  and  2  regiments  of  heavy  artillery,  which  were 
distributed  through  the  five  corps  which  formed  the  armies  of  the 
Potomac  and  James. 

Some  of  the  Pennsylvania  regiments  that  took  a  distinguished  part 
in  these  obstinately  contested  engagements  had  participated  in  the 
Bull  Run  campaign  of  1861,  and  the  Peninsular,  Virginia  and  Maryland 
campaign  of  '62;  they  had  surged  back  and  forth  in  the  cornfield  at 
Antietam;  had  breasted  the  formidable  heights  at  Fredericksburg,  and 
had  rendered  yeomen  service  at  Chancellorsville.  Their  steadfast  cour 
age  and  splendid  endurance  had  contributed  powerfully  to  the  decisive 
success  at  Gettysburg,  and  after  three  years  of  eventful  and  memorable 
services,  they  had  again  shown  their  quality  as  soldiers  in  the  desperate 
undertakings  in.  the  Wildnerness,  at  Spotsylvania  and  the  North  Ann 
River,  of  which  the  operations  which  we  to-day  commemorate  were 
the  natural  and  inevitable  outcome. 

A  sure  and  certain  measure  of  the  work  done  by  the  troops  in  battle 
and  campaign  will  be  found  in  the  list  of  the  loses  sustained.  From 
this  test,  the  Pennsylvania  troops  at  Cold  Harbor  emerged  most  credit 
ably,  the  official  record  showing  their  loss  in  killed  and  wounded  and 
missing  to  have  been  2,785,  including  48  commissioned  officers,  being 
over  16  per  cent,  of  the  losses  sustained  by  the  armies  of  the  Potomac 
and  James  during  the  operations  in  this  vicinity  in  1864. 

That  the  Pennsylvania  troops  fought  well — here  as  everywhere — the 
reports  of  their  commanders  bear  generous  and  abiding  testimony. 

General  Grant  says: 

"During  three  long  years,  the  Armies  of  the  Potomac  and  Northern  Virginia  had  been 
confronting  each  other.  In  that  time  they  had  fought  more  desparate  batt'es  than  it 
probably  ever  before  foil  to  the  lot  of  t\vo  armies  to  tight,  without  materially  changing 
the  vantage  ground  of  cither.  The  battles  of  Spotsylvania,  Wi'deruess,  North  Ann,  and 
Cold  Harbor,  bloody  and  terrible  as  they  were  on  our  side,  were  even  more  damaging  to 
the  enemy,  and  so  crippled  him  as  to  make  him  wary  ever  after  of  taking  the  offensive. 
His  losses  in  men  were  probably  not  so  great,  owing  to  the  fact,  that  we  were,  save  in 
the  Wilderness,  almost  invariably  the  attacking  party,  and  when  he  did  attack,  it  was 
In  the  open  field.  The  details  of  these  butles,  which  for  endurance  and  bravery  on  the 
part  of  the  soldiery,  have  rarely  been  surpassed,  are  given  in  the  report  of  Major  Gen 
eral  Meade,  and  the  subordinate  reports  accompanying  it."  (Official  Re-cords,  I  nion  and 
Confederate  Armies,  Volume  3G,  Part  1,  page  2,'i.) 


PENNSYLVANIA  AT  COLD  HARBOR.  43 

General  Hancock,  a  distinguished  son  of  Pennsylvania,  is  equally 
\varni  in  commendation,  and  say.-: 

"The  bearing  of  the  troops  under  my  command  on  the  march  and  during  tin-  operations 
on  the  Totopotomoy,  and  especially  at  the  bloody  battle  of  Cold  llarbr-,  vras  distinguished 
for  bravery  and  good  conduct."  (Ibid.,  p.  34G.) 

General  John  Gibbon,  in  speaking  of  the  loss  of  46  per  cent,  which  his 
division  had  suffered  duiing  the  operations  of  May  and  June,  1864, 
says: 

"The  brigades  have  had  17  different  commanders,  of  whom  3  had  been  killed,  and  6 
wounded.  Of  the  279  officers  killed  and  wounded,  40  were  regimental  commanders.  Of 
course,  the  bravest  and  most  efficient  officers  and  men  were  those  who  fell;  it  is  always 
so.  These  facts  serve  to  demonstrate  the  wear  and  tear  on  the  division,  and  to  show 
why  it  is  that  the  troops,  which  at  the  commencement  of  the  campaign  were  equal  to 
almost  any  undertaking  became  at  the  end  to  it  unfit  for  almost  auy.  The  effect  upon  the 
troops  of  the  loss  of  such  leaders  as  Tyler,  Webb,  Carroll,  Baxter,  Connor,  McKean, 
Ramsey,  Blaisdell,  Coons,  Haskell,  Porter,  Murphy,  McMahon,  Macy,  Curry,  Pierce, 
Abbott,  Davis,  Curtis,  and  a  host  of  others,  can  be  estimated  only  by  those  who  wit 
nessed  their  conduct  in  the  different  battles."  (Ibid.,  p.  434.) 

The  great  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  does  well  to  pay  this  ap 
propriate  and  enduring  tribute  to  the  memory  of  her  heroic  dead.  The 
material  prosperity  which  so  generously  abounds  within  her  borders, 
is  in  no  small  measure  due  to  the  devoted  self-sacrifice  of  her  sons,  who 
here  paid 

"the  last  full  measure  of  devotion"  that   "government  of  the  people,    by  the  people, 
and  for  the  people  should  not  perish  from   the  earth." 

To  their  valor  is  it  due  that  the  abounding  prosperity  which  she  now 
enjoys  was  possible,  that  her  southern  boundary  separates  her  from  an 
equal  prosperous  Commonwealth;  that  the  lines  established  by  Mason 
and  Dixon  is  not  a  customs  barrier  or  a  hostile  boundary,  but  simply 
serves  to  delimit  the  jurisdictional  activities  of  two  friendly  states,  liv 
ing  in  abiding  peace  and  harmony,  following  the  same  flag,  members 
of  the  same  Unon,  cherishing  the  same  historic  memories,  and  pursuing 
the  same  glorious  destiny. 

It  now  becomes  my  duty  to  accept  from  the  hands  of  your  Excellency, 
the  Governor  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  in  behalf  of  the 
War  Department  and  the  Governor  of  the  United  States,  this  beautiful 
and  enduring  monument  to  the  memory  of  the  soldiers  of  Pennsylvania 
who  here  gave  their  lives  for  their  country.  As  the  ages  pass  it  will 
continue  to  tell  story  of  steadfast  bravery  of  undaunted  courage,  of 
boundless  devotion  to  the  State  and  to  the  Union  which  their  lives,  their 
service  and  their  sacrifices  have  made  illustrious.  The  general  govern 
ment  cheerfully  charges  itself  with  the  custody  of  this  visible  and  en 
during  memorial  to  their  valor,  and  fortitude,  and  equally  charges  it 
self  with  the  preservation  of  the  story  of  their  heroic  deeds,  which  has 
been  made  the  subject  of  abiding  record  in  the  capital  of  this  Common 
wealth,  there  to  remain  I  trust  until  the  earth  and  the  sea  shall  give  up 
their  dead. 

General  M.  Kerwin,  Colonel  13th  Pennsylvania  Cavalry  was  to  have 
spoken,  but  he  being  unable  to  attend  the  exercise,  the  oration  was  de 
livered  by  the  Honorable  Henry  M.  Poote,  who  was  a  member  of  the 
Pennsylvania  Volunteers. 


44  PENNSYLVANIA  AT  COLD  HARBOR. 


ADDRESS  OF  HON.  HKXRY  M.  FOOTE. 

MR.   PRESIDENT  of  the  Monument  Commission,  the  Governor  of 
the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen: 
After  General  Grant  and  General  Lee  had  arranged  the  terms 
of  surrender,  and  the  men  of  both  armies  were  preparing  to  return  to 
their  homes,  it  was  interesting  to  listen  to  the   conversations  which 
were  carried  on  between  those  who  only  a  short  time  before  were  facing- 
each  other  in  deadly  conflict. 

There  was  a  tall,  wiry  fellow,  who  had  belonged  to  an  Alabama  Regi 
ment,  that  seemed  to  be  the  center  of  attraction  in  one  groupe,  and  he 
became  somewhat  excited  as  he  gave  an  account  of  some  of  his  ex 
periences,  and  finally  woud  up,  by  saying:  "Well,  I  just  don't  care.  I'se 
going  back  to  my  old  home  which  they  tell  me  has  been  destroyed;  but 
I'se  got  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  T  killed  just  as  many  of  you  as 
you  did  of  me." 

That  sir;  was  but  an  expression  that  seemed  to  animate  the  brave 
men  of  both  sides  as  they  were  peacefully  separating  for  their  homes. 
They  met  as  enemies  and  killed  just  as  many  of  each  other  as  they 
could.  It  could  not  have  been  otherwise  because  both  armies  were 
composed  of  Americans,  and  had  the  best  fighting  blood  in  their  veins 
of  any  nation  on  earth. 

I  do  not  feel  entirely  comfortable  on  this  occasion,  because  I  fail  to 
see  the  faces  of  some  of  my  friends  whom  I  expected  to  see  and  whose 
presence  would  be  an  inspiration  to  me,  I  feel  in  that  respect,  very 
much  like  the  widower  who  lived  up  in  Vermont,  and  who  got  married 
the  second  time  to  a  lady  who  was  a  stranger  in  the  town.  After  the 
ceremony  was  over  he  thought  he  would  make  a  few  remarks  to  the 
company  present  and  so  he  said:  "That  being  a  mere  man,  he  thought 
he  needed  the  help  of  those  present  to  make  his  new  wife  feel  at  home, 
and  that  he  was  going  to  depend  upon  the  women  folks  there  to  do  it. 
That  he  knew  they  would  do  just  as  his  first  wife  would  do  if  she  were 
alive.  That  he  missed  her  presence  awfully  at  times;  but  more  than 
usual  on  this  occasion." 

Barring  the  presence  of  those  friends,  I  have  been  asked  to  tell  some 
thing  of  the  story  of  this  monument  which  we  are  here  to  dedicate  and 
the  stand  we  took  here  which  makes  such  dedication  possible,  and  this 
reminds  me  of  an  incident  that  took  place  when  both  armies  were 
facing  each  other  in  the  first  peninsual  campaign.  The  llth  Pennsyl 
vania  Cavalry  was  entrenched  in  close  quarters  to  some  command  on 
the  other  side  near  where  an  old  negro  had  his  habitation  and  where 
he  had  lived  for  many  years.  One  day  a  pretty  sharp  fire  was  opened 
by  the  Confederates  and  one  of  the  cavalrymen  asked  the  old  darkie 
what  he  thought  about  them  making  an  advance.  The  old  fellow  after 
looking  wise  for  a  minute,  replied:  "That  they  needen't  have  any  fear 
about  their  coming  any  further,  kaise  they  woulden't  dare  come.  But 


PENNSYLVANIA  AT  COLD  HMiltnif.  45 

the  old  fellows  predictions  did  not  come  true  because  the  very  next  day 
they  advanced  some  distance  and  took  possession  of  some  abandoned 
works  which  the  Federals  had  built.  The  old  colored  man  could  not 
stand  those  tactics  any  longer  and  so  he  began  to  gather  up  his  things 
preparatory  to  making  a  hasty  retreat  when  the  cavalryman  to  whom 
he  spoke  the  day  before  said  to  him — "I  thought  Uncle  John,  that  you 
said  yesterday,  that  the  Confederates  wouldn't  come  this  way  any 
further?"  The  old  fellow  who  was  rolling  his  eyes  over  in  the  direc 
tion  where  the  Confederates  were,  replied — "Well  I'se  changed  my 
mind,  and  I'se  come  to  the  conclusion  that  it's  a  heap  better  to  make 
a  good  run,  than  it  is  to  make  a  bad  stand"  And  so  we  thought  as  we 
followed  the  suggestion  of  the  old  darkie  and  marched  back  to  safer 
quarters. 

\Ve  have  met  here  upon  this  historic  spot,  this  ground  consecrated 
by  service  and  by  sacrifice,  to  the  cause  of  that  which  is  the  highest 
conception  of  human  thought. 

Here,  amid  the  sound  of  clashing  steel,  and  the  deafening  roar  of 
musketry  and  cannon,  was  shed  the  best  and  bravest  blood  that  hu 
manity  can  give.  It  was  here  upon  that  fateful  day  in  June,  45  years 
ago  that  those  regiments  from  Pennsylvania  which  are  inscribed  upon 
this  monument,  together  with  others  from  different  states,  met  the 
valorous  hosts  of  Lee,  and  in  that  fearful  carnage  scores  of  those  herose 
on  both  sides  gave  to  the  cause,  which  each  beheld  as  right,  full  meas 
ure  of  their  heroic  devotion. 

All  things  which  are  of  human  origin  and  are  the  products  of  con 
flicting  minds  bear  the  stamp  of  imperfection.  The  product  of  ideas 
always  carries  with  it  the  impress  of  honest  controversy,  and  so  long  as 
human  life  exists,  and  this  conflict  is  carried  on,  just  so  long  will  there 
continue  to  be  honest  differences  of  purpose  and  opinion. 

There  are  times  in  the  history  of  a  nation's  progress  and  develop 
ment  when  appeals  in  the  forum  of  public  debate  serve  only  to  arouse 
and  intensify  opposing  and  conflicting  thoughts,  and  questions  which 
may  have  been  considered  of  no  serious  consequence  at  first,  may  be 
come  of  such  absorbing  interest  as  to  arouse  bitter  feelings  of  antagon 
ism  and  great  popular  concern. 

In  such  a  contest  of  ideas  there  can  be  no  final  settlement  of  that 
which  was  the  cause  of  the  controversy  except  in  the  highest  tribunal 
on  earth — the  arbitrament  of  arms. 

For  many  years  the  wisest  men  of  both  sections,  North  and  South, 
had  waged  a  contest  of  fierce  debates  over  an  important  national  ques 
tion,  and  it  became  a  matter  of  supreme  importance  to  determine  just 
how  far  the  powers  and  authority  of  the  State  had  been  surrendered  by 
the  adoption  of  the  Federal  Constitution. 

The  political  success  of  Lincoln,  served  only  to  intensify  the  popular 
trend  of  thought  of  those  who  had  been  successful  at  the  polls  upon 
this  question;  and  that  this  political  discussions  and  elections  could 
not  solve  was  submitted  to  the  court  of  last  resort. 

The  men  of  the   North  engaged   in   that  contest  imbued   with  the 


46  / -/•: v.vsT/.r  t  \f  i  .\r  roi.n 

thought  that  the  union  union  our  fathers  established  had  been  threat 
ened  with  destruction.  They  had  the  inspiration  of  the  immortal 
Patrick  Henry,  that  to  preserve  the  Union  was  the  best  and  noblest  pur 
pose  on  earth,  and  that  to  die  in  its  defence  was  but  the  crowning  act 
of  a  partiotic  service.  The  men  who  marched  away  into  this  south 
land  to  maintain  the  integrity  and  perpetuity  of  that  union,  stepped  to 
the  martial  strains  of  the  Star  Spangled  Banner  and  were  moved  in 
their  devotion  to  principal  by  the  inspiring  sentiments — "The  union 
now  and  forever,  one  and  inseperable." 

The  men  that  carried  that  flag,  did  not  enter  this  fair  land  for  the 
purpose  of  waging  a  war  of  conquest  in  order  to  settle  some  territorial 
dispute,  or  for  the  purpose  of  levying  tribute  upon  its  people,  in  sat 
isfaction  of  some  real  or  fancied  wrong.  They  came  here  to  preserve 
and  defend  that  which  had  been  the  ark  and  the  covenant  of  our  na 
tional  hope,  for  nearly  one  hundred  years,  and  so  their  zeal  for  the 
preservation  of  the  Union,  became  a  national  sentiment,  and  every  life 
that  went  out,  and  every  drop  of  blood  that  was  shed  in  its  defense, 
served  only  to  arouse  a  more  strong  and  more  intense  determination, 
that  those  sacrifices  should  not  have  been  made  in  vain. 

And  so,  our  armies  came  here,  upon  this  sacred  soil  of  this  imperial 
state,  not  as  invaders  for  the  purpose  of  depriving  a  person  within  its 
borders  of  a  single  personal  or  property  right.  Our  columns  marched 
along  these  valleys  and  over  these  hills,  carrying  with  them,  the  flag  of 
the  union,  which  the  State  of  Virginia  helped  to  establish.  And  it  was 
that  emblem  which  they  followed  in  victory  or  defeat. 

It  was  that  patriotic  zeal  which  led  them  on,  because  they  could  not 
endure  the  thought,  that  in  that  conquest,  they  should  live  to  see — "The 
sun  set  upon  the  broken  fragments  of  a  once  glorious  union."  And  it 
Avas  that  thought,  that  sentiment,  which  caused  them  to  march  across 
your  border  and  accept  the  challenge  given  them  by  that  fearless  and 
intrepid  army  of  the  "Stars  and  Bars." 

That  enthusiastic  desire  to  preserve  the  union  of  the  states  was  quite 
enough  to  atone  for  all  the  sacrifices  which  our  armies  made;  but  when 
the  proclamation  of  freedom  came,  there  was  added  to  that  desire,  a 
further  sentiment,  that  back  of  that  seemingly  was  involved  in  that  con 
test,  Almighty  God,  who  holds  the  nations,  as  it  were,  in  the  hollow 
of  his  hand  had  issued  his  decree,  that  this  republic  could  only  be  per 
petuated  by  being  reestablished  upon  a  foundation  of  univarsal  peace 
and  liberty. 

To  you  men  of  Virginia,  who  so  bravely  faced  our  onward  march  with 
these  sentiments  inscribed  upon  our  banners,  we  have  no  expression  of 
regret  to  make,  because  we  invaded  the  sacred  precincts  of  your  his 
toric  state,  you  met  us  like  foemen,  worthy  of  our  steel,  and  by  the 
blood  of  your  comrades,  mingled  with  that  of  ours  upon  this,  and  a 
hundred  battlefields  helped  to  cement  this  Union  together  forever  and 
ever  more.

It  is  but  proper,  it  is  but  fitting,  that  here  upon  this  spot  which  has 
been  made  sacred  as  a  battle  ground  m  defense  of  the  cause  of  the 
union,  that  I  should  speak  with  warmest  praise  of  the  men  \\lio  not 
only  met  brave  Americans  upon  this  field;  but  crimsoned  this  soil  with 
their  blood  that  the  principles  for  which  they  fought  might  forever 
endure.  I  am  not  here  upon  this  eventful  day  to  detract  from  the  hon 
orable  record  and  patriotic  service  of  the  men  in  whose  honor  we  dedi 
cate  this  monument,  by  admitting  that  the  result  of  that  bitter  contest 
was  a  mistake,  because  I  believe,  sincerely  believe,  that  the  progress 
of  our  civilization  during  the  last  two  decades  has  demonstrated,  that 
from  every  consideration  which  not  only  involved  the  welfare  of  the 
south;  but  also  that  great  world-power  Republic  as  well,  that  it  is  better, 
far  better,  that  this  union  should  have  been  preserved  than  that  it 
should  have  been  destroyed.  And  I  know  that  the  man  that  followed 
the  fortunes  of  that  brave  and  gallant  leader — General  Lee,  and  who 
now  have  a  patriotic  veneration  for  the  union,  would  hold  me  in  most 
contemptous  disregard  if,  here  upon  this  occasion  I  should  even  by  in 
sinuation  admit  that  the  men  who  met  them  on  this  historic  spot,  and 
wno  here  laid  down  their  lives,  did  so  fighting  for  an  unjust  and  un 
holy  cause. 

But  sir,  that  fierce  and  sanguinary  conflict  for  the  supremacy  of  ideas 
was  a  demonstration  to  the  whole  civilized  world  that  there  was  at 
stake  honest  differences  of  opinion  respecting  the  powers  and  limita 
tions  of  our  constitutional  government.  You  men  of  the  south  had 
challenged  the  exercise  of  some  of  those  powers,  and  had  inexorably  de 
fined  some  of  those  limitations.  The  issue  was  no  longer  one  of  debate. 
You  had  taken  appeal  to  that  court  of  last  resort  and  had  assumed  the 
affirmative  side  of  those  questions  and  there  was  nothing  left  for  the 
people  of  the  north  to  do,  but  to  join  issue  with  you  there. 

That  man  would  be  unfit  to  assume  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of 
an  American  citizen  who  imputed  to  the  brave  men  of  the  south  any 
thing  but  an  honest  purpose  and  a  patriotic  desire  to  maintain  the  prin 
ciple  for  which  they  fought.  The  men  who  framed  that  historic  issue 
sacredly  believe  that  they  were  right,  in  the  method  adopted,  in  resist 
ing  what  they  honestly  considered  was  an  encroachment  by  the  Federal 
Government  upon  the  rights  reserved  to  certain  states,  and  they  were 
imbued  with  an  impulse  just  as  strong  and  just  as  patriotic  to  resist 
such  encroachments  as  that  which  prompted  those  on  the  other  side 
to  risk  all  that  was  dear  to  them  in  that  contest.  And  to  you  men  we 
extend  the  hand  of  friendship  and  express  to  you  our  unbounded  ad 
miration  for  your  valor  and  your  sacrifices  in  the  defense  of  those 
principles  which  you  believed  to  be  just  and  sacred. 

And  as  we  meet  here  to  honor  the  men  who  met  you  on  the  battle 
field,  and  who  made  the  greatest  sacrifice  possible  to  maintain  the 
principles  which  they  also  held  to  be  just  and  sacred,  we  do  so  without 
the  revival  of  a  single  bitter  memory,  or  any  feeling  of  animosity 
towards  those  who  gallantly  opposed  our  onward  march.  Differ  as  we

always  may  upon  political  questions,  still  there  shall  never  be  any 
difference  of  opinion  between  those  who  faced  each  other  in  that  con 
flict,  that  each  with  the  blood  of  Puritan  or  Caviller  in  his  veins,  had 
the  courage  and  patriotism  to  do  or  die  in  defense  of  the  principles 
which  he  held  to  be  sacred. 

The  onward  march  of  time  has  happily  healed  the  differences  of  opin 
ion  which  each  has  maintained  of  the  other.  And  as  we  witness  the 
progress  which  this  Republic  has  made  in  the  last  quarter  of  a  cen 
tury  we  have  cultivated  a  stronger  feeling  of  pride  that  we  are  bound 
together  in  indissoluble  bonds  of  union  than  we  ever  had  before.  We 
have  come  to  understand  and  fully  realize  that  this  government  of  ours 
is  not  sectional  but  national,  and  that  whatever  effects  the  well  fare  of 
one  state,  effects  equally  as  well  the  well  fare  of  all  states,  and  taking  a 
just  pride  in  all  these  things,  and  realizing  that  in  union  there  is 
strength,  all  sections  of  our  common  country  stand  ready,  should  the 
necessity  occur,  to  defend,  at  whatever  cost,  the  integrety  and  per 
petuity  of  this  glorious  union. 

Since  those  great  Generals  of  the  war— Grant  and  Lee,  shook  hands 
at  Appornattox,  nncl  bade  each  other  Godspeed  in  their  efforts  to  hind 
up  the  wounds  made  by  that  great  struggle,  this  Republic  has  made 
greater  strides  of  progress  than  ever  before.  We  have  lived  to  see  it 
expand  from  a  union  of  34  States  with  31  millions  of  people,  until  it  is 
now  a  union  of  46  States  with  90  millions  of  people.  And  we  have 
seen  the  boundaries  of  nation  enlarge  so  that  it  can  now  be  truthfully 
said  that  the  sun  never  sets  upon  the  flag  of  this  union  and  this 
great  Republic. 

We  glory  in  the  thought  that  we  have  the  best  country  that  can 
be  found  anywhere  upon  the  face  of  the  civilized  globe,  and  that  it  has 
been  dedicated  to  the  sublime  cause  of  liberty  and  equal  opportunity. 
That  here  the  pathway  of  success  is  unobstructed  and  stands  open  for 
every  child  of  toil,  and  that  the  invitation  is  extended  to  all  to  enter 
into  the  rich  fields  of  honest  industry  which  our  common  country 
affords  where  the  only  qualifications  for  success  which  are  required 
are,  a  sincere  purpose,  unceasing  toil,  a  patriotic  devotion  to  the  in 
stitutions  and  laws  of  our  country,  and  a  profound  and  never  falter 
ing  reverence  for  it's  flag. 

Yes,  we  glory  in  the  thought  that  the  foundation  was  laid  here  for 
the  greatest  republic  on  earth.  That  under  the  providence  of  God  and 
the  patriotism  of  our  people  there  has  been  established  upon  these 
shores  the  full  realization  of  civil  and  religious  liberty  It  took  the 
sacrifice  of  Lexington  and  Valley  Forge,  to  print  the  stars  upon  our 
flag,  and  the  best  and  bravest  blood  of  both  sections  of  our  country 
to  forever  settle  a  great  national  dispute  in  order  that  the  republic 
should  live  forever  and  remain  a  union  of  States  one  and  inviolate. 


PENNSYLVANIA  AT  COLD  HARBOR.  49 

We  have  reason  to  enjoy  a  greater  pride  in  our  country  than  ever 
before.  During  the  last  decade  this  nation  has  demonstrated  to  the 
powers  of  the  earth,  that  American  skill,  American  progress,  Ameri 
can  ideas,  are  bound,  in  the  not  far  distant  future,  to  dominate  the 
protects  where'er  it  waves,  and  that  wrong,  tyranny  and  oppression 
protects  wheie'er  it  waves,  and.  that  wrong,  tyranry  and  oppression 
can  not  live  and  flourish  upon  any  soil  over  which  it  floats.  And  as 
we  look  upon  it,  all  it's  glory  and  all  that  it  represents  we  feel  a  sense 
of  unbounded  pride  that  it  was  given  to  us  by  men  who  dared  to  act, 
to  suffer  and  to  die,  that  generations  yet  unborn  would  under  the 
shadow  of  its  ample  folds  defend  the  liberty  vouchsafed  to  them  by  the 
toil  and  sacrifice  of  their  fathers. 

Fellow  citizens  of  Virginia,  our  beloved  old  Commonwealth  of  Penn 
sylvania — the  keystone  of  our  Federal  arch,  has  generously  appropri 
ated  a  sum  of  money  to  erect  this  monument  in  commemoration  of  the 
service  and  sacrifice  of  her  sons  who  met  the  chivalrous  hosts  of  Lee 
upon  this  historic  ground.  And  while  it  serves  to  tell  the  story  of  a 
service  well  and  patriotically  performed,  it  can  not  add  any  honor  to 
the  memory  of  the  men,  whose  regiments  are  inscribed  upon  it,  beyond 
that  which  history  and  the  development  of  time  have  already  accorded 
them.  Their  services  and  their  sacrifices  here  are  written  upon  the 
pages  of  our  nation's  history  where  the  record  will  remain  long  after 
this  granite  which  testifies  to  their  valor  shall  ha\e  perished. and 
crumbled  into  dust. 

We  welcome  here  you  men  who  so  nobly  followed  the  leadership  of 
your  great  General  whose  statue  adorns  the  public  park  of  Virginia's 
most  beautiful  capitol.  And  we  accept  the  triuute  of  your  presence 
at  the  dedication  of  this  monument  as  a  most  conspicuous  proof  that 
the  era  of  friendship,  and  a  patriotic  desire  for  the  welfare  and  prog 
ress  of  our  Republic,  now  animates  the  people  of  all  sections.  And  that 
peace  and  prosperity  now  rest*,  like  a  general  benediction  from  heaven 
upon  our  happy  and  reunited  country. 


\DDRESS   BY   DR.   THEODORE   A.   WORRALL,   PRIVATE   CO.    "B," 
97TH    REGIMENT,    PENNSYLVANIA    VOLUNTEERS. 

MR.  CHAIRMAN,  Governor  and  Comrades:     I,  a  private  soldier, 
have  handed  my  hat  to  a  colonel — a  medal  of  honor  man,  to 
hold — it  could  not  be  done   in  any  other  country  on  God's 
green  earth. 

I  want  to  say  that  there  is  not  or  never  was  a  nation  that  produced 
soldiers  better  than  those  who  wore  BLUE  and  GRAY  in  our  Civil 
War — and  each  man  of  those  armies  honestly  believed  that  he  belonged 
to  the  best  regiment  in  the  service,  why  only  this  morning,  in  Rich 
mond,  I  met  a  55th  Pennsylvania  man,  and  I  asked  which  was  the  best 
4

regiment,  and  he  replied — "Why  the  55th,  of  course."  A  76th  jiian  told 
me  it  was  the  76th  Pennsylvania,— A  44th  North  Carolina  man  assured 
me  his  regiment  was.  I  concluded  to  leave  it  to  the  13th  Pennsylvania 
Cavalry,  and  when  I  put  the  question  to  one  of  the  members,  he  paused 
a  moment,  and  said,  "it  laid  between  the  97th  and  the  13th,  but  he 
thought  the  97th  had  it,"  and  as  the  97th  was  my  own,  I  shall  fall 
upon  that  cavalryman's  neck,  and  weep  in  my  dreams.  It  was  this 
pride  of  the  men  of  the  BLUE  and  the  GRAY,  in  their  respective  com 
mands  that  made  the  American  Volunteer  the  best  soldier  known.  1» 
this  assertion  true?  Let  us  see — what  history  and  statistics  prove: 
The  Federal  army  and  the  Confederate  army  as  well,  were  longer  in 
the  field,  untiVr  greater  hardships,  than  any  other  armies  of  modern 
times  and  lost  a  greater  proportion  of  their  numbers  in  battle  or  dis 
ease.  Let  us  look  for  a  moment,  and  see  if  figures  will  not  bear  me 
out  in  this  matter.  The  Germans  put  in  the  field,  1,124,000;  the  wa>- 
lasted  seven  months  and  seven  days,  during  which  time  they  lost  in 
killed  and  wounded,  127,000  men.  General  Grant  had  in  the  final  cam 
paign  against  Richmond,  including  the  columns  under  Generals  Butler 
and  Sigel,  200,000  men,  about  one-sixth  the  German  force  that  moved 
against  Paris.  •  His  losses  were  115,000.  Thus  in  eleven  months  of 
fighting,  200,000  of  the  Union  Army  lost  nearly  as  many  as  1,124,000 
Germans  in  the  keven  months  it  took  them  to  conquer  France.  The 
Union  Army  had  four  years  of  this  awful  fighting  while  the  Germans 
got  off  with  two-  thirds  of  a  year.  At  Waterloo,  England's  boasted 
battle,  the  loss  was  less  than  12  per  cent,  at  Magenta  and  Solferino, 
both  armies  lost  less  than  nine  per  cent.  At  North  Granelot  and  Ledan, 
the  loss  was  12  per  cent.  All  bloody  and  desperate  battles  to  which 
the  nations  of  Europe  point  as  brightest  examples  of  the  courage  of 
their  soldiers.  At  Gettysburg  and  other  battles  of  the  Civil  War,  the 
loss  was  24  per  cent,  or  one  in  four.  Thus  the  trained  soldiers  of 
Europe  suffered  in  comparison  with  the  American  Volunteer.  Penn 
sylvania's  soldiers,  to  whom  this  monument  is  erected  did  their  share 
in  the  making  of  this  great  record;  on  every  battlefield  ut  importance, 
from  the  Revolution  en,  Pennsylvanians  have  died  at  the  post  of  duty. 
It  was  Wayne  and  his  Pennsylvarians,  who  held  back  the  flanking 
column  and  gave  Washington  time  to  save  his  army  at  Brandywine. 
Cross  Into  Mexico  with  the  American  Army — follow  its  sanguinary 
march  and  you  will  find  the  fields  of  Palo  Alto  (Monterey),  Buena 
Vista,  dotted  with  her  dead.  Her  sons  moistened  the  Saltilli  road  with 
their  blood  Lxid  at  last  choked  Belan  Gate  with  their  dead.  Yes!  they 
bled  and  died  in  every  battle  field  from  the  Rio  Grande  to  the  halls  of 
the  Montezumas — 

Now  let  us  examine  their  record  in  our  Civil  War.  Colonel  Fox  after 
six  years  of  careful  research,  discovered  that  Pennsylvania  lost  more 
men  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  its  troops  than  any  other  State, 
me  it  was  the  76tn  Pennsylvania — a  44th  North  Carolina  man  assured 
ago,  the  only  one  of  your  great  number  with  whom  I  am  ecquainted 


PENNSYLVANIA   AT  <'<>U>  JIAKBOIt.  51 

There  were  forty-five  regiments  which  lost  during  the  war,  200  men  in 
action;  of  these  forty-five,  Pennsylvania  furnished  eleven,  a  greater 
number,  than  any  other  State.  Colonel  Fox  in  his  statistics,  calls  those 
regiments  that  lost  in  action  over  one  hundred  and  thirty  men.  Fight 
ing  Regiments.  There  were  300  of  them,  and  of  them  Pennsylvania 
furnished  fifty-three.  You  may  trace  the  war  record  of  this  nation  and 
it  shows  that  the  s  ns  of  Pennsylvania,  on  every  field  of  carnage, 
went  down  to  the  bloody  burial  of  battle  with  their  faces  towards  the 
foe.  The  men  who  fell  on  this,  and  other  fields  died,  that  we  should 
have  the  Union.  The  Union  means  peace.  We  owe  it  to  their  ashes 
to  perpetuate  harmony  and  peace.  The  proudest  Americans  that  went 
down  in  that  whirlwind  of  strife,  never  dreamed  of  such  a  Republic,  as 
now  spreads  from  the  St.  Lawrence  to  the  Rio  Grande.  The  war  gave 
us  one  flag,  the  emblem  of  the  Republic;  and  the  sword  and  mind  of  all 
to  defend  it.  That  Civil  War  gave  us  the  National  sentiment,  the  im 
perial  thought,  that  above  every  other  sentiment,  there  was  AMERICA, 
and  that  America,  an  invocation  to  universal  freedom  or  a  standard  of 
National  Sovereignty,  meant  more  than  Rome  in  her  loftiest  days. 

This  monument  is  dedicated  to  Pennsylvanians  who  fought  on  this 
field.  Somehow,  Nature  by  some  subtle  alchemy  gathered  the  elements 
from  the  dark  recesses  of  the  earth,  and  fashioned  this  seeming  im 
perishable  stone;  but  it  will  disintegrate  and  crumble  to  dust  under 
the  ever  changing  seasons,  as  summer  sunshine  follows  winter  storms, 
but  as  long  as  history  is  written,  the  deeds  of  the  Pennsylvanians  on 
this  field  will  not  be  forgotten. 


ADDRESSES  AND  RESPONSES. 

HIS  Honor,  the  Governor  of  Virginia,  together  with  the  Mayor  of 
Richmond,  the  Mayor  of  Petersburg,  and  members  of  the  Rob 
ert  E.  Lee  Camp  of  Confederate  Veterans  of  Richmond,  Va., 
were  invited  and  expected  to  make  addresses,  by  the  commission,  but 
at  the  time  of  the  dedication,  all  of  the  above,  through  sickness,  et 
cetera,  found  it  impossible  to  be  present  in  person,  and  in  every  in 
stance  sent  their  regrets  to  the  Commission,  as  well  as  some  one  to  fill 
their  place. 

The  Governor  cf  Virginia,  sent  his  entire  staff,  in  full  uniform,  and 
delegated  Colonel  Eugene  Carter  Massie,  Chief  of  the  Governor's  staff, 
to  represent  him,  and  voice  his  sentiments  of  the  grand  old  Common 
wealth  of  Virginia.  This  was  done  in  a  most  masterful  manner,  and 
by  means  of  a  most  excellent  oration,  one  that  will  be  long  remem 
bered;  but  again  the  Commission  has  experienced  one  of  their  very 
few  misfortunes,  in  the  nature  of  their  inability  to  catch  the  words  of 
Colonel  Massie  in  writing,  owing  to  the  fact,  that  a  stenographer  en- 


52  PENNSYLVANIA   AT  COLD  ll.i 

gaged  for  the  occasion,  had  in  this  regard,  as  well  as  in  others,  failed 
to  make  his  appearance,  and  hence  the  loss  of  this  most  excellent 
speech.  It  might  be  added,  that  the  Commission  has  tried  to  obtain  a 
written  copy  of  the  Colonel's  speech,  but  like  most  fine  orations,  same 
was  uttered  extemporaneously,  and  the  Colonel  wras  unable  to  add  to 
this  memorial,  in  the  nautre  of  his  written  sentiments.  Therefore, 
much  as  we  regret  it,  we  can  only  say,  that  Colonel  Eugene  Carter  Mas- 
sie,  Chief  of  the  Governor's  Staff,  of  Virginia,  did  all  honor  to  his  grand 
old  State,  and  hia  utterances  were  most  masterful;  full  of  sentiment, 
and  true  Virginia  patriotism. 

Commission. 


THE    SENTIMENTS    OF    THE    ROBERT    E.    LEE,    CAMP    OP    CON 
FEDERATE  VETERANS,  OF  RICHMOND,  VA.,  WERE  VOICED 
BY  THE  HON.  COLONEL  JOHN  LAMB,  MEMBER  OF  CON 
GRESS,    RICHMOND    'DISTRICT. 

His  remarks  are  as  follows: 

MR.  CHAIRMAN,  and  'Survivors  of  the  Pennsylvania  Troops  who 
engaged  at  Cold  Harbor  in  June  1864: 
Responding  to  the  eloquent  and  suggestive  speech  of  Gov 
ernor  Stuart,  of  Pennsylvania,  let  me  say  that  he  has  correctly  voiced 
the  sentiments  of  the  Virginia  people  today.     This  monument  that  you 
here  dedicate  to  the  valor  of  your  troops  on  the  fateful  day  inscribed 
thereon  will  be  as  safe  and  as  free  from  vandalism  as  if  erected  any 
wrhere  in  your  splendid  Keystone  State. 

We  welcome  you  to  this  historic  soil,  made  famous  by  the  hrroir 
deeds  of  your  Pennsylvania  troops.  We  are  glad  to  know  that  so  many 
of  you  escaped  the  awful  carnage  of  second  Cold  Harbor.  Some  Virgin 
ians  think  you  all  were  killed  that  bloody  day.  Not  all  of  you,  I  am 
sure,  safely  viewing  these  fast  fading  redouts,  and  recalling  the  mem 
ories  and  associations  of  forty-five  years  ago  share  the  feeling  of  the 
Union  Irish  soldier,  who  was  recounting  the  scenes  at  the  first  Man- 
assas,  and  telling  how  he  escaped  death  that  day;  one  of  his  hearers 
said:  "Why,  Pat,  sure  you  did  not  run?"  "Run,"  he  said,  "why,  faith, 
and  let  me  tell  you,  all  who  did  not  run  are  there  now." 

I  did  not  meet  you  personally  on  this  particular  field,  for  my  former 
colleagues  in  Congress,  whom  I  accidentally  fell  in  with  a  few  minutes 
ago,  the  only  one  of  your  great  number  with  whom  I  am  acquainted 
then  in  a  Pennsylvania  Cavalry  Regiment  had  put  me  temporarily 
out  of  commission  a  few  days  before,  at  a  place  near  here,  known  ;is 
Haws  Shop. 


PSNNSTLV  I  \/  1    .17'  COLD  JlAltlfOlf.  53 

I  am  glad  to  meet  him  here  to-day,  for  we  served  together  ten  years 
in  Congress,  and  he  has  more  than  once  served  me  good  turns;  al 
though  he  has  not  yet  apologized  for  coming  down  here  into  my  own 
State  and  shooting  me,  as  if  I  were  a  rebel  and  a  traitor. 

I  congratulate  your  speakers  here  to-day:  I  might  well  claim  your 
sympathy  in  having  to  respond  unexpectedly  to  these  eloquent  ad 
dresses,  several  of  which  smell  of  the  midnight  oil.  I  am  speaking 
from  the  heart  as  well  as  from  the  shoulder  to  you  brave  Pennsyl- 
vanians.  We  Virginians  believe  that  you  were  as  honest  and  as  loyal 
as  we  are  in  that  struggle.  Like  the  VIRGINIANS,  you  not  only  felt, 
but  you  knew  yo-ii  were  right.  The  best  of  Virginians  feel  that  it  was 
worth  all  the  bloodshed  and  sacrifice  of  war,  to  have  two  questions — 
Chattel  Slavery  and  the  Right  of  Secession — put  behind  us  forever.  We 
also  feel  that  in  time  these  questions  would  have  been  put  behind  us 
had  the  God  of  battles  decided  for  us  instead  of  for  your  side.  But 
we  are  not  here  to  speculate  on  what  might  have  been.  The  facts  are 
apparent  to  all  discerning  minds,  and  the  Virginians  you  have  met  in 
the  city  of  Richmond  as  well  as  those  hardy  yeomen  scattered  over 
these  battle  scarred  planes,  are  as  loyal  as  you  can  be  to  the  Govern 
ment  and  flag  of  a  reunited  country.  Within  a  few  miles  from  where 
we  stand  I  know  of  many  youths  who  enlisted  in  and  fought  through 
the  Spanish-American  War. 

Your  last  speaker  has  encouraged  me  to  remind  you  of  Virginia's 
contribution  to  our  history,  for  he  boasted  somewhat  of  Pennsylvania's 
exploits. 

Why,  gentleman,  if  it  had  not  been  for  Virginia,  there  would  have 
no  United  States,  and  you  would  not  be  here  to-day.  Some  of  you  may 
have  been  at  the  Yorktown  celebration  yesterday.  If  so,  you  saw  on  the 
splendid  monument,  erected  by  the  United  States  Government,  that 
Virginia  had  3,300  of  Washington's  10,000  in  the  Continental  Army. 
At  the  same  time,  she  had  2500  with  Green  in  the  South,  and  750  sol 
diers  defending  the  frontier  along  the  Ohio.  You  need  not  wonder  that 
the  sons  of  the  shires  of  1776,  inheriting  the  love  of  liberty  and  self- 
government,  defended  manfully  on  these  bloody  fields  around  Cold 
Harbor  the  rights  their  fathers  had  wrung  from  King  George  on  the 
plains  of  Yorktown. 

If  time  permitted,  I  could  tell  you  a  story  of  sacrifice  and  toil,  of 
courage  and  endurance  on  the  part  of  the  people  in  lower  Hanover 
County  that  would  thrill  your  souls  with  admiration  for  as  noble  a 
people,  who  in  all  the  tide  of  time,  have  met  defeat  and  disaster.  From 
the  desolation  and  ashes  of  war  they  have  built  comfortable  homes; 
have  erected  schoolhouses  and  churches;  have  defied  the  very  fates  and 
laughed  at  impossibilities.  This  sand  soil  has  not  been  wratered  with 
State  or  Federal  Pensions,  paid  out  quarterly,  nor  have  these  indus 
trious  citizens,  braver  in  peace  even  than  in  war,  asked  anything  of 
legislation  save  the  proud  privilege  of  paying  into  the  State  Treasury 
their  quota  of  the  taxes. 


r  [  PENNSYLVANIA  AT  COLD 

Again  permit  me  on  behalf  of  the  Lee  Camp  of  Confederate  Veterans 
of  Richmond,  to  welcome  you  in  your  pious  duty  of  guarding  the  mem 
ories  of  your  fallen  comrades.  The  survivors  of  these  terrible  conflicts 
should  unite  and  see  that  this  battle  ground,  twice  watered  with  the 
blood  of  brave  men  who  exemplified  all  the  heroic  qualities  of  Ameri 
can  soldiers  is  marked,  and  preserved  as  well  as  Antietam  and  Gettys 
burg. 

Here  the  faith  and  endurance  of  the  Union  soldiers  was  tried  as 
never  before.  Their  long  and  persistent  struggle  came  near  ending  in 
despair  when  they  failed,  after  repeated  and  well  directed  efforts  in 
forcing  back  the  Confederate  lines.  Nowhere  in  the  long  and  bloody 
strife  did  Southern  valor  shine  out  so  gloriously  as  on  these  fields, 
where  so  many  brave  men,  on  both  sides,  sacrificed  their  lives  for  their 
convictions. 

We  are  glad  to  know  that  you  brave,  loyal  men,  are  trying  to  do 
your  duty  in  this  direction.  Some  of  us  tested  your  bravery  at 
Sharpsburg,  and  we  felt  your  loyalty  at  Gettysburg.  As  you  have  lived 
brave  lives,  may  you  die  worthy  patriots,  dear  to  God,  and  famous  in 
all  ages. 


ADDRESS     OF     THOMAS     A.     STUART,     COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, 
PENNSYLVANIA  U.  A.  R. 

In  this,  as  in  other  instances,  Mr.  Stuart  having  spoken  extempo 
raneously,  and  the  stenographer  being  absent,  the  Commission  is 
unable  to  print  Mr.  Stuart's  speech,  a  fact  which  is  to  be  regretted  for 
the  reason,  that  this  speech  was  one  of  the  most  ardent  of  the  day — 
full  of  pathos  and  tender  memories,  being  a  speech  that  will  linger 
till  the  end  in  the  minds  of  those  who  were  so  fortunate  as  to  hear  it.

PATRICK  FRANCIS  HODGE. 


Captain  55th  Pennsylvania  Infantry,  Died,  Swissvale,  Pennsylvania, 
November  25th,  1909. 


PATRICK  FRANCIS  HODGE:— 

Private  14th  Pennsylvania  Infantry,  April  24th,  1861;  mustered  out 
August  6th,  1861. 

Private  55th  Pennsylvania  Infantry,  September  14th,  1861;  sergeant, 
November  1st,  1861;  first  sergeant,  January  1st,  1863;  discharged  for

Died,  November  25th,  1909,  at  Swissvale,  Penna. 


COMPANION  Patrick  Francis  Hodge,  for  ten  years  previous  to  his 
death  held  the  responsible  position  of  tax  collector  for  Swiss- 
borough,  the  second  largest  borough  in  Allegheny  County. 

Companion  Hodge  spent  his  early  days  upon  a  farm,  and  the  rugged 
life  led  by  the  mountain  boy  stood  him  in  good  stead  for  the  stirring 
times  so  soon  to  follow  in  the  War  of  the  Rebellion. 

In  response  to  the  first  call  for  troops  to"  preserve  the  Union,  Com 
panion  Hodge  promptly  enlisted  in  the  14th  Regiment  of  the  Pennsyl 
vania  Infantry,  (three  months  service).  At  the  expiration  of  this  term 
he  immediately  re-enlisted  in  the  55th  Regiment  Pennsylvania  Infan 
try;  serving  during  the  entire  war,  he  stood  with  his  regiment  in  the 
fron  line  at  Appomattox,  and  was  finally  mustered  out,  September 
30th,  1865. 

Companion  Hodge  was  twice  severely  wounded,  once  at  Pocotaligo, 
South  Carolina,  October  22nd,  1863,  and  again  at  Drury's  Bluff,  May 
1.0th,  1864,  where  he  was  also  taken  prisoner.  After  eight  months' 
confinement  he  escaped  and  joined  the  army  under  General  Sherman.

Returning  to  civil  life,  after  the  dose  uf  -the'^ax;  i>y  ^ion/taivJv 
duct,  manly  virtue,  and  signal  ability,  he  commanded  the  respect  'and 
admiration  of  all  who  came  in  contact  with  this  high  mind,  God  fear 
ing  character.  His  whole  career  was  marked  by  uprighteousness,  USP- 
fulness  and  the  highest  type  of  patriotism.  In  a  word,  Patrick  Franci.? 
Hodge,  was  an  altruist  in  the  grandest  expression  of  the  term,  and 
success  came  to  him  in  the  highest  and  broadest  interpretation  of  the 
word.  That  rich  mead  of  moral  and  spiritual  success  which  is 
awarded  the  gallant  soldier  and  noble,  kindly  gentleman. 

A  genial,  plain  man — whole  hearted,  generous — "Envying  no  man 
anything,  except  his  kindness  of  heart  and  gentleness  of  manrer," 
whose  manly  characteristics  and  pure  merit  elevated  him  to  the  cap 
taincy  of  his  company  and  anon  to  the  foot  stool  of  the  great  Captain 
of  all  Captains  who  hath  said  unto  him — 

"Well  done,    good  and  faithful  servant; 
Enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  Lord."

IN    MEMORIAM. 


Captain   PETER   D.   BRICKER,   Died   January    5th,    1913. 


CAPTAIN  Peter  D.  Bricker,  was  born  in  West  Pennsboro  town 
ship,    Cumberland    County,    Pa.,    March    8th,    1840,    and   after 
graduating   from   the   Big   Spring   Academy,    Plainsville,   Pa., 
studied  law  with  Gen.  A.  B.  Sharpe,  Carlisle,  Pa,  until  the  breaking 
out  of  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  when  he  was  commissioned  2nd  lieu 
tenant  of  the  13th  Cavalry,  117th  Regiment  Pa.  Vols.,  and  was  pro 
moted  finally  to  the  rank  of  captain,  Co.  F. — which  rank  he  held  until 
the  close  of  the  war,  when  he  was  breveted  Major  by  President  Andrew 
Johnson,  for  "gallant  and  meritorious  service  in  the  field." 

Captain  Bricker  served  through  all  the  engagements  of  the  Army  of 
the  Potomac  and  at  Cold  Harbor,  Va.  He  fought  through  the  Peninsu 
lar  Campaign  from  beginning  to  end,  and  was  twice  made  a  prisoner 
of  war,  being  confined  in  Andersonville  and  Salisbury. 

After  the  war,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  practiced  his  chosen 
profession  from  that  time  until  shortly  before  his  death.

vania  Commandery  of  the  Loyal  Legion  of  the  United  'States  of  Amer 
ica,  being  elected  to  membership,  October  10th,  1894. 

Captain  Bricker  was  a  man  of  sterling  worth,  and  a  benefactor  to 
his  fellow  man.  He  was  much  interested  in  the  affairs  of  the  commun 
ity  in  which  he  lived,  being  burgess  of  the  above  named  residence  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  Too  much  cannot  be  said  of  the  qualities  of  Captain 
Bricker  that  so  endeared  him  to  all  who  were  honored  with  his  ac 
quaintance,  and  of  the  many  acts  of  kindness  that  will  ever  link  him 
in  the  memories  of  his  host  of  friends.  When  others  were  involved, 
he  forgot  self,  and  was  a  friend  to  the  rich,  or  poor;  the  unfortunate, 
or  oppressed,  alike,  so  much  so,  that,  as  was  said  by  Antony  of  Caesar, 
so  may  it  be  truthfuly  said  of  Captain  P.  D.  Bricker  —  "He  was  my 
friend,  faithful  and  just  to  me."
